Badgie,Better be careful or the assessor will raise your taxes based on your "additions". If you ever feel the need to practice your blind building skills, you'd be welcome to build a prototype or two in my woods. I'll field test em and tell you what needs improvements (looks like no improvements needed to me). You are an inspiration to us all. Thanks for coming back to the forum.

Nicely done Badgie! I was thinking of usinf a handicap portajohn on a raised deck, but the price of one of those things is unreal. They wanted $600. just for the shell! I like your method better. (a mother in law suite, with a comanding view, Near everything, easy walking distance to local points of instrest, and pets are ok with a lead deposit!)

The only real difference between a good tracker and a bad tracker is observation. All the same data is present for both. The rest is understanding what you are seeing.

"Any sportsman who can kill his deer without the tingling spine, the quick clutch at his heart, the delicious trembling of nerve fibers when the game is finally down, has no place in the deer woods." Lawrence R. Koller. (1948).
